“The Netherlands is in his shirt,” said Joost Eerdmans, the leader of the one -man group JA21, at Talkshow Bar late. Semi-Bezorgd, but above all very happy with himself, he was sitting at the table to talk about his motion in which the government was asked to “actively oppose Eurobonds and strictly to look at compliance with the European budget rules.” He was against a European army and relied on the words of the happy egg today fake news can throw into the world from the White House. Eerdmans summarized the telephone conversation with the Ukrainian leader Zensky: “Of course, it was the story of Trump, but this was a good development that can lead to something beautiful.” “And,” he added, “let’s be honest, this was not successful under Biden.” Trust NATO and don’t argue with Trump was his motto. Also interesting: we must be happy that the most powerful men in the world speak together again. Eerdmans remembered the conversations between former president Ronald Reagan and former Soviet leader Gorbachev still well.
It was a historically nonsensical comparison. If David Van Reybrouck, the Nieuwe Thinker of the Netherlands, not at the talk show of Eva had just been sitting with Bar latehe had also explained that to Eerdmans. The germ before the arrival of a leader like Trump had grown decades ago, he explained, and someone like Trump was at the time where Eerdmans orphaned to orphan. Van Reybrouck made a plea for suspectthat was missing in this time in which we live with the Trumps of the day.
Also at Eva Before that it was about Eerdmans’ motion, and the annoyance about the populist stupidity at the table was great. There, journalist Stefan de Vries, former Lieutenant General Mart de Kruif and BBB member Henk Vermeer spoke about the financing of the European REACHING PLAN. The first two placed the figures in perspective, pointed out that every other country in Europe saw how great the danger is, that investments also lead to earning and that this motion was sand in the machine that tried to keep Europe running. Henk Vermeer did not all agree. “As a journalist, you can now have an opinion about everything,” he frightened, “but I am sitting here as a representative of the people who have to be accountable in ten years.” He presented his task as something reassuring.
Fake news
“As a journalist you can now have an opinion about everything.” He did have a point there, that is indeed not allowed. Vermeer might have picked that up at the youth program Core That the next four weeks will discuss the question of what journalism actually is. In the first episode it was about what new is, but the role of fake news, investigative journalism and censorship is also discussed. People can earn from fake news and attract power. It is also possible that ‘people will doubt real news’ and when journalists can no longer do their work, the basic principles disappear from a democracy. It was explained excellently and you can hope that the broadcasts will become mandatory at schools and in the Lower House.
From research figures that are at talk show Beau It turned out that the confidence in this cabinet had dropped to 16 percent and that BBB leader Van der Plas has only enjoyed confidence in 66 percent of her own supporters (NSC leader Pieter Omtzigt was allowed to do with 23 percent with his own supporters). I don’t know for sure, so this is not news, but the chance that someone will ask Vermeer in ten years is small. Perhaps that is not only reassuring for the Netherlands, but also for Vermeer himself.
